If you've looked into taking a class online, odds are good you've run into Udemy. The popular e-learning site has over 210,000 courses on topics spanning everything from character drawing to machine learning

Unlike some competitors like Coursera or Skillshare, Udemy lets you purchase individual courses rather than pay a monthly subscription fee for access. (Though, if you prefer, you can also try its $16.58/month subscription plan to access over 6,000 select courses.)

Udemy courses typically include hours of self-paced video, articles, downloadable resources, and a certificate of completion — with lifetime access to the materials, even after you finish the course. And if you buy a course and aren't satisfied, it can be refunded within 30 days of purchase.

If the prices seem high, frequent sales mean Udemy courses can often be purchased at a much lower cost, typically ranging from $12-$30. If you see a course you really like, it's worth bookmarking and checking back frequently to see if it's discounted. Thanks to these sales, Udemy is actually one of the most affordable online learning options.
